Are you after just the aerial or base as well?
And anything specific?

Aerial and base, my knowledge on uhf aerials isn't great.
Anything over 1m plus base will clear the roof of my patrol, (will roof racks make a difference)?
Preferably something durable.
Thanks Niss

G'day Family4x4fun,
I have this one mounted to my GQ
http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...pid=4824#Cross
From Supercheap Auto at $130.00
Comes with two antenna. A 3db (small antenna) and a 6.5 db (Longer one about 1m) to cover all sorts of terrain. Easy to install. There is no cutting or splicing of wires, its just bolt in, run the cable and screw on the end piece. Simple!
Here are some links that explain what the technical mumbo jumbo is all about.

Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .
WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

I have the same one on the GQ. Have had for many years. I have it mounted on the side of my snorkel on the inde and it is well protected there. I run the 3db and have had no trouble with it in the type of terrain in travel.
There are heaps of options on eBay though.

I would hesitate to buy a second hand one for the price. They are a little sensitive and you'd hate to buy someone else's rubbish.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.Originally Posted by Rogue Dung Beetle

3db is a short distance high pickup. (Very hilly country)
6db is a medium range pickup and is good for touring.
9db is good for very long distance (Nullabor, Central Aus, no hills)
Hope that helps.

Is 3db shorter than 6db, or is it the other way around?

Yes 3dB is shorter.

Make sure if it is ground dependant to run a wire to your battery neg terminal,
or scratch the paint off on the bulbar to make connection.
they are a great antenna I use one on my camper as a home base radio
